What happens when a community loses its home? Recently, the Austin Pokémon GO community faced a major setback when our long-time meetup spot at The Domain was "nuked"—every Gym and PokéStop vanished overnight. But this isn't a rant. It’s a story about resilience and what happens when a community chooses to move forward instead of looking back. In this video, I talk about how our community ambassadors worked to find a new "campsite," the importance of seeing things from others' perspectives, and how we're now helping local businesses grow in a new part of town. Whether you’re a trainer or part of a different hobby altogether, there’s a lesson here for everyone: we aren't defined by what we lose, but by what we decide to build next.
